hitman Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 These guys are impressive when it comes to aerobatics displays. Ive seen a few of em, and the brief instants Ive seen the Thunderbirds, they left me drooling for more.
Rodgerdat Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 The Thunderbirds are very good. But I have to say there was an F-18 super Hornet at the same show I went to. I have to say It was incredable. Here is a little movie of the high speed pass. http://home.mchsi.com/~tileworks.ltd/Picture_137.MOV
yamangman Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 They are precise (and loud compared to major european teams :)), the last time i saw them (97) was uninspriing, even in perfect weather. They are coming to the UK again this year, will be interesting to see how they compare to the plethora of national display teams they'll be alongside.
D-Scythe Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 The Thunderbirds are very good. But I have to say there was an F-18 super Hornet at the same show I went to. I have to say It was incredable. Here is a little movie of the high speed pass. Super Hornet? High speed? Wha? :D
JonTex Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 who are these guys again ? Are they worth the money is what i want to know?:D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Arthonon Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 Here's a few Thunderbird shots from their show at Nellis a few years ago to give you an idea of their show (a lot like most military demo teams, but maybe a bit faster):
sp0nge Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 That last shot is a good one! How do the pilots know how far apart they are? is like a sheduled altitude they stay on? Is breaking the laws of gravity illegal? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
TorwaK Posted June 6, 2007 Author Posted June 6, 2007 Just an addition/correction. It is now Major Nicole Malachowski, and there is also one more female pilot, Major Samantha Weeks. :) I didnt know about it thank you. Already there is few good acrobatic teams, but I like especially Blue Angels, Thunderbirds, Turkish Stars also Russian Knights. :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Intel Core i7-6700K, @5GHz | Asus Maximus Hero VIII | 2 x eVGA GTX 970 SLI | Kingston Predator 16GB DDR4-3000Mhz | 2 x Samsung 850 PRO 240GB RAID-0 | AOC G2460PG G-SYNC LCD | OCULUS RIFT CV1 VR | THRUSTMASTER HOTAS WARTHOG | CH PRO PEDALS

JonTex Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 ThunderBirds huh?? Sounds like a new action figure in the GI Joe section of Toys R Us... Ill have to keep an eyeball out for these guys and see how good their show is.:D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Bucic Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 I prefer solo performance anyway :P It can be more agressive. F-5E simpit cockpit dimensions and flight controls Kill the Bloom - shader glow mod Poor audio Doppler effect in DCS [bug] Trees - huge performance hit especially up close

mvsgas Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 USAF Thunderbird 2011 schedule http://thunderbirds.airforce.com/schedule.html To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
Cali Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 USAF Thunderbird 2011 schedule http://thunderbirds.airforce.com/schedule.html I'm not working a food booth at this air show, in 2009 we had to. That's if they let me change my RNLTD. I don't see Barksdale on the list, maybe they'll be there next year :) i7-4820k @ 3.7, Windows 7 64-bit, 16GB 1866mhz EVGA GTX 970 2GB, 256GB SSD, 500GB WD, TM Warthog, TM Cougar MFD's, Saitek Combat Pedals, TrackIR 5, G15 keyboard, 55" 4K LED
